About this ebook
Freed with a thought, the greatest menace to humanity, the Borg, are gone, absorbed into the Caeliar gestalt. But are they? Can this deadly menace that has hovered over humanity for decades truly be gone? Might some shadow of the Caeliar remain? The Federation decides that they have to know, and Starfleet is ordered to find out.
The Starship Voyager leads a fleet into a region of space that has lived in fear of instant annihilation for generations: the Delta quadrant, home of the Borg. Afsarah Eden—the new captain of Voyager—is charged with getting answers, to reach out to possible allies and resolve old enmities in the Delta quadrant.
The perfection that was given to the Borg was withheld from Seven of Nine. Left behind, she is living a twilight existence—neither Borg nor human—and slowly going mad. The whispers of the Collective, comforting murmurs she has always known, are replaced with a voice deep within her that keeps insisting she is Annika Hansen. Chakotay, the former captain of Voyager, offers to help Seven rendezvous with the ships that Starfleet Command has sent into the Delta quadrant, the probable destination of the mysterious Caeliar.
These are not the friendly stars of the Federation; the unknown and the unexpected are the everyday.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Much better than the last one, glad I kept on with these. I enjoy the voyager fleet concept.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book starts Voyager's second journey into the Delta Quadrant. Beyer does not limit herself to that which TV shows are limited to. Unworthy is more imaginative than the show could have been in many ways, but the pace is slow at times.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What do you call a reboot that gets rebooted? That's what this book was for the Voyager novel series.The Borg have been neutralized, again, (and maybe only for the moment? Are TPTB really gonna totally get rid of one of their best and most creepy villain ever?) And so Voyager and a bunch of other ships go back into the Delta Quadrant. They have all the new toys. Slipstream drives, and a whole ship that can be crewed with holograms, the Galen.Honestly, the characters on Voyager and on Galen (including Reginald Barclay on the Galen) were my favorite, well, they andthe stowaways from the Torres family.I think that they have done a great job combining the TV Voyager characters, like Paris, Kim, Torres,with the new characters like Voyager's new Captain, and the Admiral of the fleet, and even a character from a different Star Trek Original Novel Series, the SCE series, Nancy Conlan.The plots and subplots aren't too surprising. They stumble upon the Indign, a cooperative species that has quite the story. They also bump into Species 8472 (Really, isn't the Delta Quadrant bigger than a bread box?) I wasn't surprised by most of the twist, but, it was a well written and well plotted book that was a fun and quick read.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a good book straight forward story an enemy that needs to be overcome overall not too complex for a star trek book but that can be a good thing and I liked to see how the story developed. A good book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This exciting continuation of the Star Trek world is fun and fresh without flitting into obnoxious alternate realities or retreating behind established relationships and plots.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's been a long time since I have read a new Star Trek book but I could not pass up on this one because I always wondered what happened to the crew of Voyager after they returned to Earth. Little did I know Beyer had written Star Trek Voyager: Full Circle which I believe is the book right before Unworthy. Since I have not read Full Circle some things were a little confusing for me but you can still follow the story and really get pulled in. It was sad to read about a Voyager journey without Janeway captaining the ship but most of the original crew makes an appearance in this book. I loved getting little glimpses of little Miral and seeing the old crew come together again in the return to the Delta Quadrant. We even see a brief appearance of Valerie Archer from species 8472. The book does leave you hanging a little to see if Paris and Kim can iron out their differences. There was not as much action as in the previous Star Trek books I have read but this was still an enjoyable read. I will definitely be looking for the next book to find out what happens to the beefed up holographic medical assistant that is now rogue in the Delta Quadrant.
